Robertson Davies
Aparencia
William Robertson Davies, nado en Ontario o 28 de agosto de 1913 e finado en Orangeville o 2 de decembro de 1995, foi un novelista, dramaturgo, crítico, xornalista e profesor canadense en lingua inglesa. Está considerado un dos mellores e máis populares escritores na historia do Canadá, a miúdo considerado un homme de lettres (en referencia á súa erudición), un termo que Davies aceptaba de bo grado[1]. Foi, así mesmo, o fundador e primeiro reitor da Massey College, unha college vencellada e dependente da Universidade de Toronto.

Notas
[editar | editar a fonte]- ↑ En resposta ao entrevistador Peter Gzowski, Davies aceptou a etiqueta, coa frase: "I would be delighted to accept it. In fact, I think it's an entirely honourable and desirable title, but you know people are beginning to despise it." Davis, J. Madison (ed.) (1989). Conversations with Robertson Davies. Mississippi University Press. páx. 99.
